If you are finding it hard to get a nice turn, try basting a turning guide with a long stitch (#4). This will no only give you an accurate fold line but will gently ease the fabric.
If it is not enough ease, you can gather the stitches, just a bee’s whisker.

I don’t have the Everyday Skirt pattern but I assume the hem is a turned one and one could use a gathering thread along the fold line of the turned hem, press the fold in, and with the hem turned up, gently pull the gathers to fit the curve wherever needed, pin in place then press again and sew by hand or whatever method the instructions suggest. Another approach, and my favourite way to hem a curved hem, is to make a facing 3 inches deep (resulting in a 2 inch hem), attach to the chosen length for the skirt plus a half inch for seam allowance – sew with a half inch seam, press then press open with seam allowances toward the facing side, edge stitch the three layers close to the seam line, press again this time with the facing turned in. Run a gathering stitch around the top of the facing at half an inch then press along this line, folding the turn to the inside. Now topstitch the hem from the inside, if this is an appropriate finish, or hand stitch the hem in place for a more finished look. This is the way that the Oliver and S patterns finish curved hems, e.g. in the Tea Party dress and the Family Reunion dress.
I hope this helps.

I just had a quick look at the pattern and I don’t see why the pattern instructions wouldn’t be the best way. The hem is only a little curved. turn it half an inch, then another 1 1/2 and ease in the fullness where it curved. It will be just fine.

Have you ever tried a hem gauge? They are life changing (IMO). I have this one and use it all the time. http://www.joann.com/prym-dritz-hem-gauge/1041250.html?mkwid=8wqEwP1I|dc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+Sewing&CS_003=10131488&CS_010=%5BProductId%5D&gclid=CjwKEAjw7MuqBRC2nNacqJmIpT0SJABQXAOt7YWuWMycoPdJMJEd26vYcAdiI_o0Oqj-DFduniYrpxoCh5vw_wcB

You fold your raw edge up to the inch you want. So if it says fold a half inch and then an inch, first fold your raw edge to the half inch all the way around and then fold to the inch. If you’d like I could pop up a pic on flickr.

So basically, you lay your hem gauge on the wrong side of the fabric and pull the raw edge to the inch mark you want. Like in the second picture (don’t know why they reversed), I pulled it taut to the 5/8″ and ironed. You would do that to your whole piece you are hemming, then in the second picture I pulled it taut to the 1 1/2″ line, ironed, enclosing the raw edge.

Sorry if I am not too clear, I have a hard time putting things eloquently, haha.
